When it comes to the difficult decision to buy components for the new computer or you are checking manufacturer pages or your usual hardware store out of curiosity, you may have a doubt when you see the extensive catalogs of which product is better from a specific brand. Let’s not forget that not all the products of a brand are good, nor are they all very bad and there is always a range or model that can be very interesting and fits with us. We are going to save you some time with SilverStone by summarizing which are those products with which you will not fail in your purchase.
A brand does not imply that it is the direct manufacturer of a product. This good can highlight an existing model by purchasing the license or be actively involved in the design and request the manufacture to a third party. This does not mean that this is negative and it is very normal. SilverStone, on the other hand, is usually a source provider for a large part of PSU series for other manufacturers.
SilverStone’s most recommended products
SilverStone has a wide variety of products among its catalog, making its way into some very specific ones such as computer cases and power supplies, although it also has an extensive range of processor fans and heatsinks:
- Power sources: As we’ve discussed in previous news, SilverStone has a great reputation when it comes to power supplies. Their entire range of PSUs carry some type of certificate and offer up to 5 years of guarantee in Europe, at least for most of the catalog.
- PC Towers: Although they do not have the most striking aesthetic design on the market, in recent years they have been working on improving the cooling and flow of their boxes and the quality of the finishes should be highlighted. Without forgetting its latest products that can clearly remind us of what CORSAIR offers in its most TOP catalog.
Within its wide range of products, as we highlighted, are the PC boxes and PSUs. And here are some recommendations within these ranges with which you will surely have a good experience, due to their specifications, design and quality.

Fonts: Form Factor Matters
SilverStone was one of the first manufacturers to get serious about power supply sizing. As dimensions increased with power, SilverStone worked on “power density” by offering more in a smaller size.
Power density = power / liters (width x height x depth)
A clear example are these recommended models:
SX650-G
A clear example of what power density is, we find it in the sources of the SilverStone SFX range, specifically in the SX family. The SX650-G source has a density of 819 W per liter, for an approximate cost of € 140 including taxes. Apart from the small size it has:
- SX GOLD range available from 600 W to 700 W.
- 80PLUS Gold certified.
- 5 year warranty.
- Single + 12V rail.
- Modular.
- Support PCIe 8/6 pins.
